My expertise at VIVA Wellness is providing IV Ketamine infusions for improved mental health and treating clients seeking medical weight loss. I have witnessed the tremendous benefits that medical ketamine can provide for people suffering from common mental health problems. I am one of the very first providers in the state of WI to treat patients with ketamine and have over five years of experience administering this unique treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Helping clients overcome their mental health challenges is why I’m here.

Ketamine works differently in the brain than other commonly prescribed oral antidepressants. Therefore, patients who are not completely satisfied with their current regimen may find that ketamine provides the missing piece. I regularly hear from patients how ketamine has made them feel alive again and lifted the dark cloud of depression. Optimal wellness begins with a healthy mind and I enjoy witnessing the transformation as people begin to gain control over their mental health.

I believe no one can achieve lasting weight loss benefits without practicing a consistent healthy lifestyle. A good foundation for successful weight change involves ensuring the body has proper nourishment. By consuming nutrient-dense foods along with appropriate vitamin supplementation your body can work optimally.

Small behavioral changes can make a lasting impact.

I enjoy helping others find ways to incorporate small behavioral changes that can make a lasting impact on weight management and overall health. Habit changes, and making sure they are sustainable, build tremendous momentum that can make weight loss feel less challenging. Learning about some of these habits, many of which encourage cellular detox, can be so simple and effective. Personalized care and regular follow-up meetings are essential in keeping clients on track.

Proper nourishment is really important for the whole body.

Vitamin infusions are a great way to replenish and boost your cells of vital nutrients. Furthermore, I recommend oral supplementation with a multiple vitamin and high doses of vitamin D to provide added cellular benefit. If deficient, of course our body is going to have cravings in addition to being unable to carry out some of the functions that make weight loss possible as the body may not feel “safe” to release weight. I also encourage incorporating protein into every meal and drinking water throughout the day to help with satiety.

I'm so happy to be working in the mental health and wellness industry. I look forward to meeting new clients and helping them achieve their mental health and weight loss goals.
